Root of Honesty

“What ya'll see there is none other than the root of honesty.”

Rarity froze when she heard the voice and almost jumped out of her skin. It took all her composure as a lady not to. But after the initial shock she realized she recognised that voice.

“Applejack?” She asked as she slowly turned around. Standing there with a smile on her face was indeed Applejack. “Oh Applejack, I'm so glad to see you” Rarity said as she breathed a sigh of relief “I thought I was going to be lost in this forest forever. And I have to say darling I’m loving what you have done with your coat. The way it glistens and gleams it’s almost like when we are in the Crystal Empire”

Rarity then paused as she thought over what she had just said, something was wrong. Unless she had magical teleport across Equestria she was miles away from the Crystal Empire and no way would Applejack volunteer for a makeover of this level. And come to think of it, Applejack had just left for Appleloosa just yesterday.

“Ah’m glad to see you’ve realized the truth. Ah’m not really Applejack, Ah’m just a hologram from the Tree of Harmony representing the Root of Honesty.”

“Tree of Harmony? Root of Honesty? Hologram? What is going on, what does any of this have to do with the Tree of Harmony and why do you look like Applejack?!”

“I guess I can see why you're so confused, especially with me just appearing,” Applejack said, all embarrassed as she rubbed the back of her head. “I’ll start from the beginning, so the Tree of Harmony not only produces the Elements, it also has a deep root system. Specifically six roots, with each one corresponding to a different one of the Elements. This one here that you’ve stumbled upon is the Root of Honesty. As for why I look like Applejack, as the bearer of Honesty the tree has chosen this form and personality to be the interface, if you will of the root. If you’d stumbled upon one of the others it would be one of your other friends you’d be seeing”

“Oh my,” Rarity exclaimed, “I knew the tree was special, but to think there is a whole other level associated with it. Just as we think we’ve discovered all the tree’s secrets we discover something new. Once I manage to get back to Ponyville Twilight will be so excited to visit here.”

"I'd think you'd want to hold off on that partner," ‘Applejack’ answered. "This place ain't no tourist destination. By being the first to arrive here only you will be able to visit here again. In addition you’ve also been granted a special magic power.”

“Special magic power, you say?” Rarity said intrigued “I'm getting super powers? Or eternal beauty or..”

“Now hold on a second Rares,” ‘Applejack’ interrupted, “If you give me a chance I can explain. Now the power is quite simple but powerful, it makes it so that from this point forward every yes or no question will be answered with a hearty ‘yes’ and it’ll be the truth even if reality must change to make it so.”

“Really Darling, the ability to rewrite reality with simple questions. That just sounds like something so stupid, like something out of one of those silly Fanfics Sweetie Belle tries to get me to read.”

“Ok Rares, if you don’t believe that’s ok. Give it a go then, test it out. Ask a question to see if it works.”

Rarity paused and thought over Applejack's words. What should she ask to test it? Her thoughts were eventually interrupted by a hand waving in front of her face.

“Here Rare? You there? You going to ask a question to test it?” Asked ‘Applejack’.

“Don’t rush me. If what you said is real then I can’t just ask the first question that pops into my head like: Do I have the largest breasts in Ponyville?” Rarity slapped her hands over her mouth as Applejack's palm met her face.

It was like lightning under her skin, pleasure sparking through every nerve as her breasts swelled outward, the weight shifting her balance with each breath. Her nipples strained against her bra, then passed the point of resistance — and yet, her top fit. Her clothes grew with her. The world had already rewritten itself. A thought that turned her on greatly and one that she wished she could do for Spike. Her breasts continued to grow and that moment never came even as they reached a size that was easily bigger than her head.

“So it’s true, it was all true,” Rarity said in disbelief. “I really have the ability to affect reality”

“Eeyep, just like I said so you need to be careful about what you say from now on it can now have major consequences. That’s not to say it all bad this has the potential to bring your dreams to life”

At the word dreams, Rarity’s ears perked up. She hadn’t even considered that, her dream now had the ability to come true.

“So my dream can really come true?”

“Eeyup” replied Applejack.

Unbeknownst to either of them Rarity’s simple question had just changed reality in a major way.

Rarity’s mind was abuzz, her dream could really come true? With her new powers all it would take is a single statement and she could have it. But just as she was about to say it, she paused. Would her dream have actually come true if she just made it so with a word? Could she truly enjoy it knowing that in an instant it had all been artificially changed to suit her. No it wouldn’t. It was the journey to the destination that made the reward so special. She would take her time. Spike would become everything she dreamed of, not through **** but through truth. A slow surrender. A gradual unveiling of the roles they were always meant to play. His diamond in his hoard, the **** he craved above all others. That wasn’t to say she couldn’t give small nudges along the way to help it happen; but it must happen naturally.

"Wait just a second. What will happen to the memories of the ponies after I ask a question? I don’t want ponies freaking out over my new breasts"

"Nice catch there partner. Now don't ya'll worry they won't remember there being any difference unless you ask them whether they'd notice a difference. It’s also the reason your clothes still fit after your first question instead of bursting out of them. The world has changed so that they have always been like that hence why the clothes changed to fit.”

Rarity processed all that ‘Applejack’ had said, it was after all a lot to take in. In one afternoon she now had the ability to rewrite reality itself. Now though as much as she admired this amazingly beautiful cave she has to make her way back to Ponyville and start having some fun. But there was one problem she didn’t know the way back to Ponyville. Wait, could she get ‘Applejack to give her directions?

'Okay let’s see how this goes,' she thought to herself. "**Er… do you know the way back to Ponyville?**"

"I do, but sugarcube, that ain’t exactly what I’d call using your power to its fullest."

Rarity thought about it. "Is there a shortcut back to Ponyville?"

"Just take a little left near the boulder."

Rarity nodded and made her his way back to Ponyville. Finding the trip back unnaturally short.

As she made her way out of the forest and into Ponyville proper, Rarity couldn’t help but smile. The fun was just about to begin and soon her dream will come true with Spike her true master and her his Diamond in his horde.
